Yes, I'm a solid lisp fan, but anytime I have to edit lisp without paredit I die.
Now paredit has been around for decades (1991 ? I forgot) so it's not like it's rarity.
Now that said, a little bit of paredit-fu allows for some funky coding sessions.. you can swap sexps, move blocks up down the tree .. you can even process the sexp with some elisp code in emacs.. it's very very swift.
What annoys me is the people who never expanded their knowledge beside a few paradigm .. they'll stick with python only or js .. or cpp. They're stuck onto a few libs and syntax.. it's a pity.
